RF Remote Control Option 39 The RF remote control is a narrow band low power device and does not have the jamming immunity of the spread spectrum modem used by the MSI-3460 to communicate to the remote display. Powerfu l sources of RF energy in the 418MHz region can jam the remote and prevent it from operating. In this circumstance, trying either of the two other available RF remote frequencies (433MHz and 315MHz) might solve the problem. Before ordering the RF remote control option, some...

40 MSI-3460 Operator’s Manual 7.0 RF Remote Display Option 7.1 Introduction The MSI-3460 can communicate with peripheral de vices using RS-232, 802.15.4, or 802.11/b,g,n WiFi. Only one communication type can exist at a time. Due to the difficulty of dangling RS-232 cables from a hanging crane scale, the RF options are more commonly used for gathering weight data. The RS-232 port located on the right side of the MSI-3460 is useful for setup and calibrati on using a computer and MSI’s SCCMP...
